Ministry 210 – Ministry in the Local Church (3 credits)

This course looks at the place of everyday Christians in the body of Christ, highlighting roles of service in the local church. The class will have four main sources of study:

  • Biblical descriptions of the local church from Acts and the epistles. 
  • Spiritual gifts and how they are used in the local church.
  • Christian literature/examples of people who have served in the church.
  • Visits from everyday Christians who have served in the church.

Student learning will be evaluated based on four response papers (3-5 pages each). The papers will be on the following topics: biblical overview of the local church, personal practice of spiritual gifts, ministry in your local church, and an interview of a local church ministry-minded Christian.
